Postdoctoral Research Assistant Animal Vibration Lab, University of Oxford

My current research focuses on how and why African Elephants use seismic communication. My other ongoing research interests include the ecology and conservation of tropical forest habitat and its resident vertebrate fauna, particularly cheirogaleid lemurs in Madagascar. Additionally, I am interested in the use of bioacoustics for non-invasive biodiversity assessment at the ecosystem level and to disentangle the cryptic species complex.

Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus

Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus I am a systems neuroscientist with a background in biophysics. The goal of my research is to understand how brain circuits mediate decision making to complex sensory input. In my lab, we study how sensory processing areas of the olfactory and somatosensory systems handle information relevant to decision-making, and how they interact with downstream regions such as the hippocampus and cerebellum. In addition, we study the circuit basis for behavioral deficits in mild demyelination and neurodevelopmental disorders. To tackle these questions, we use an interdisciplinary approach employing high-density electrical recording, advanced microscopy, closed loop optogenetics, and computational neuroscience.
